Case Study: Spark Systems achieves microsecond FX trading performance with Nutanix

Spark Systems halves rack space and achieves microsecond FX trading latency with Nutanix

Spark Systems, a Singapore-based FX trading platform, needed to modernize its legacy three-tier infrastructure to support high-frequency trading with microsecond latency, simplify management, and reduce costs. To address this, they partnered with Nutanix to implement a hyperconverged infrastructure solution based on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, including AOS Storage and AHV virtualization.

The Nutanix solution provided a compact, high-performance stack that enabled real-time trade processing with minimal latency. This migration, completed without service disruption, allowed Spark Systems to double its server density in a single rack, eliminate SAN storage costs, and accelerate customer onboarding by saving an estimated six months. Nutanix provided the foundation for greater IT efficiency and future AI-driven innovation in their trading platforms.
